Select Board approves warrant amendments ahead of Annual Town Meeting.
Select Board · Meeting of May 18, 2026
SWAMPSCOTT — Select Board greenlights warrant amendments ahead of Town Meeting. The five-member board reviewed and approved proposed yellow and blue sheet adjustments to financial figures and contract amounts, with Town Administrator Nicholas Connors presenting updates on cash returns and solid waste contracting. The Board also endorsed an Environmental Purchasing Policy—a flexible framework designed to guide sustainable procurement without mandating higher costs—noting that adoption qualifies the town to apply for the MassDEP Recycling Dividends Program, which awarded Swampscott $15,400 last year.
Residents Michael Allen and John Sullivan raised concerns about a property on Clark Street that has accumulated debris and structural issues over roughly 18 months; Mary Ellen Fletcher urged board members to visit the site, and Ted Dooley and Wayne Spritz committed to work with the Town Administrator's office on enforcement.
